Zombasite patch 1.023

This huge patch improves graphics a lot by adding shadow mapping, adds Steam cloud support, increases performance quite a bit, fixes several crashes, and fixes a ton of other more minor issues (more than 200 changes). 1.023 change list:

• added shadow mapping

• added Steam Cloud support

• fixed a possible crash when loading if build a level and then free the level before the end of the game setup

• hopefully fixed a crash in generateBlendedTileGeometry

• fixed a possible multiplayer crash if have lots of entity deletes since last message (only developer testing modes?)

• fixed an infinite loop related to explosion traps and cave ins (Mandark)

• fixed a crash in ResourceSystem::freeNextResource (I triggered it in the editor, but it might be random crash in many other places)

• fixed a crash in Quest::switchCombatants when a purge happens during switch (probably rare in real games)

• fixed a crash when a player leaves a multiplayer game and then a monster damaged by that player tries to reference the player's clan

• fixed a crash if X the entire window while in multiplayer game

• fixed a way multiplayer game maps could be out of sync in multiplayer (hella)

• fixed never dropping legendary rings, jewelry, or necklaces (Destro*)

• now if load game and the main monster of a quest is in a secret level shift to it somewhere more reasonable - this can happen if I change the layout of the worlds and what used to be a normal level ends up being a secret level after the layout shift (Wayne)

• now on load if monster level and quest level doesn't match for some reason (most likely because world layout changed) fix quest level (Varkon)

• now if an actor clan loads and is based in an area that no longer exists it will be moved to a valid location

• now if load game and the main monster of a quest is in an invalid location shift to it somewhere more reasonable - this can happen if I change the layout of the worlds and what used to be a normal level ends up being a secret level after the layout shift (Mandark)

• now non-player critical hits are 1.5X instead of 2X

• difficulty damage mult now applies to projectile, radius projectile, direct damage, and status effects

• added a few more safeguards to prevent corrupting character

• safe guarded another place in save code to prevent corruption

• now postpone building collision grid until models are loaded (should prevent a bunch of hitches)

• removed lightIndexes being a local array in renderSurface (test went from 54.3 to 56.7 fps, 4.4%)

• made getTileObject caching work better (test went from 57.8 to 58.9 fps, 1.9%)

• no longer cull each surface separately (now per entity) (test went from 48.3 to 49.0 fps, 1.5%)

• now cull minimap blips better (test went from 57.7 to 65.4 fps, 13.3%)

• culled some more minimap blips better (test went from 69.2 to 71.5 fps, 3.3%)

• cull tiles a little better now (test went from 71.4 to 71.9 fps, 0.7% - also simplifies code a bit)

• cache model matrix instead of just angle (test went from 78.4 to 79.8 fps, 1.8%)

• now some ResourceHandles marked as temporary and they don't go through add/remove user (test went from 78.4 to 79.4 fps, 1.3%)

• no longer add lights from models (old feature) (test went from 78.9 to 79.4 fps, 0.6%)

• optimized bindTexture slightly (test went from 79.4 to 80.0 fps, 0.8%)

• sped up a bunch of getDatabaseEntry calls in CovenantBase (didn't test speed, too erratic)
